IGN have posted a preview of the latest incarnation of The Sims. Here is part of the preview for your viewing pleasure:
At the $40 price, it's almost enough that the new box combines all the content and features of the original core game as well as the first Livin' Large expansion. There are plenty of new objects exclusive to Deluxe as well as a new batch of walls, floors and skins. Deluxe will even feature two brand new Roman and Science Fiction decorator themes. That's a pretty strong incentive to bring latecomers into the ranks of the Sim fanatics.
Soon, they too will learn the joys of having to tell a whole family of four when to get up, when to eat and when not to pee their pants in the middle of the kitchen. A quick shower and you're off to make enough money at your job that you can buy an even nicer kitchen to pee in the middle of. Add in a few parties where mom slaps dad for coveting the neighbor's wife and you begin to understand the appeal of the game.
